Instructions

  1. Knead all ingredients together for 5 minutes. Then rest the dough for 10 minutes at 35 ° C.
  2. After resting, knead the dough again vigorously by hand and cut off 20 pieces of 40 g each.
  3. Wrap the remaining dough in foil and set aside.
  4. Now round out the dough pieces and roll them to a point, making sure that they are the same length.
  5. Place the pointed pieces of dough together in a heart shape on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, cover with foil and put aside for 10 minutes at 35 ° C to cook.
  6. Take the remaining dough out of the foil, roll it out to about 2mm thick and cut out 10 stars with a small star cutter.
  7. After the dough is cooked, coat the dough hearts with caustic soda and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  8. Dip the dough stars in water, roll one side in sesame seeds and place on the leached dough hearts close to the interface and press lightly.
  9. The hearts are then pushed into the preheated oven at 220 ° C, without steam, in about 16 minutes with lower and upper heat and baked.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
